You should not need to strip it out. IIRC that case has a motherboard tray cutout for the CPU cooler backplate.
I suppose the Antec TP-550 would be a good bet, but this PSU don't look too bad and should do the job. The TP-550 has steadily increased in price. To the point where you could maybe go for a Lepa 650W or a corsair TX.
I've got 8 gigs HyperX, and it's doing the job perfectly well. I suppose you can't go wrong with XMS3, as ever.
Those cutouts for the backplates really are a great idea

Why don't they make them all simple? I had an old Zalman cooler the other day. It was a simple bit of plastic for the backplate that stuck on with a bit of adhesive. Then you just simply put the cooler on top and put some screws in. So easy!
I'm sure the Kingston is fine. I just had a bad experience with them before. DDR2 days... was rated for 1200Mhz and never done anything near it... soo, not been a fan ever since then.
